Greatest Motorhead Songs

Zezerex

The Top Ten

1Ace of Spades

Not only the best of Motorhead, but the best heavy metal track ever.

Anyways the greatest motorhead track ever! Legendary metal song, a tough challenge for any other band and it has got speed and spark in it to recharge people. This song and fade to black by Metallica are best metal songs ever

Where in the hell is ORGASMATRON! I belive orgasmatron is the best motorhead song but ace of spades comes second but this is allright

I was just thinking (it happens occasionally) Lemmy has a Dino Croc named after him - not very... him is it? A more appropriate thing would be to name a rock / biker bar in his honour and call it Lemmy Inn. Would be much better methinks. - Britgirl

! " The final solo, you know it's coming... You wait for the drums to start and... - megabreath

Scared the hell out of me first time I heard it back in the day aged 12. It was like a message from a dark alien invasion force. Aged 14 I was part of the force myself. ' At the Apollo Manchester for the bomber tour. Overkill' with fast Eddie at his best almost had them ripping the place apart. It was and is that exciting

Ahh, those drums.. Nothing like the thick drum line bringing in the deep rough Lemmy voice... Ahh MOtorhead..

Ace Of spades is overrated. Real Motorhead fans know this is their best song. - Disturbedpotato

You simply cannot top the grimy gritty dark atmosphere of the original song. The lyrics are powerful, violent and disturbing. Lemmy's finest moment as a lyricist and proof that Motorhead could be just as interesting playing fast and slow. - joshapkin

I first heard this as a cover by Sepultura which lead me to seek out the original. To put it in simple terms, it rocks!

The Contenders

11Motorhead

The 1997 Remastered version is better than the original for me. I can't explain why, but the original just seems a little out of tune for me. Maybe it's because I like the remaster so much that when I hear the original I can't help but feel that the remastered version is better.

THIS IS WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT. PURE ROCK N ROLL! I'M 14 AND I can't GET ENOUGH OF IT! THIS IS TOP TEN MATERIAL. THIS IS NUMBER ONE! THE GROOVE IS ABSOLUTELY OUTSTANDING. I CAN ONLY HOPE MY BAND IS ONE DAY THIS GROOVY.

Its really short but it is a great song

OH MY GOD! Only number 15! Jesus! This is tied for #1 for me. I can see why somebody would like Ace Of Spades better, but this one is far more energized and has more meaning. Ace Of Spades, however has a better guitar solo, which adds bonus points.

No Class should be in the top 5's. I think this is one of the best Motorhead songs ever! A short song, but very good. I can listen to this song all day long! It's so badass. The short solo is also pretty nice. Vote for this song!

This song relates to someone you know. Who better than Lemmy to tell you that you got "No Class"!

Lyrics, melodie and the amazing Lemmy-Poison-Cry at the end are all awesome - my favorite song since now 37 years! Motörhead forever!

20Sympathy for the Devil

One of my favourites! In my top 10! - Haze

21In the Name of Tragedy

YES, it's a new one. But YES, it's really one of the best ones. Come on, hear it.

Sick song, sick solo, man that song is pure rock'n'roll, you go full crazy listening on this.

Most kickass and badass heavy metal song of all time

In my darkes ours...number one

22The Chase is Better Than the Catch

Ace Of Spades album was their best - this is a really cool song.

The best song off possibly my fave album.

This is in Motörhead's whole career, their greatest song. Fine tuned, focused song, that has really catchy drumbeat, magnificient basslines and lyrics ans singing, that is on their own league. Song sounds like the band really wanted to make it to be the hit, or they just happened to get everything right with it. Nevertheless, I put this even higher, that Ace Of Spades-song, cause it's really well done and have the certain mood on it.

23Liar

24Limb from Limb

Top 15

25(We Are) The Road Crew

The Ultimate Roadie song! This is what I'm talking about right here! Ace of Spades was a Godly album and this song was the best - PsychoSandman33

Absolutely my favorite song! The other songs are great (duh) but this one has something special to it. Remember Lemmy was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix!

Awesome Song. Listened to it all the time in Brutal Legend.Not my favourite Motorhead song but very near. Probably beaten by Bomber or Ace of Spades.

26In the Black

This has got to be my favorite along with in the name of tragedy. Play em both on guitar like religion. Both are newer but so perfect!

27I Don't Believe a Word

It's different. Lemmy's voice, the theme of the song. Every little detail just makes this song absolutely epic.

Must be far more higher on the list. Lemmy's voice has become my drug.

I think this song has one of the best lyrics of all R'n'R songs ever written. Very complex, yet nicely written. Plus the awesome guitar riffing, altogether - for me this is the best song Lemmy has ever produced.

How is this at 40!? This song is just epic! easily in my top 5 Motorhead songs

This song is one of my favourites. The riff is amazing and the lyrics are so badass. - IronSabbathPriest

In my opinion yes this is not my favorite Motörhead song but 66?! What's wrong with you!?

29Killers

30(We Are) the Roadcrew

31Sacrifice

Fun song. Even more ridiculous video.

32Evolution

Heavy songs, wild and awesome. motorhead kick ass

The best and hardest motörhead song ever, my favorite song since 2004!This song have so much of negative energy and power, that I should to transform in a raging beast when I hear it! ;-)

33Love Me Like a Reptile

34Death or Glory

Speed, Power and Mikkey's sensational drumplay

35Mean Machine

36Rock 'n' Roll

This song needs to be on higher rank.

One of their best. - Alpha101

Rock n' Roll will never leave ya (you'd hope).

37Thunder & Lightning

A modern day classic...ranks with the best of Motorhead's singles

38Enter Sandman

Great cover of Metallica's Enter Sandman

My god I hate Metallica...

But I love Motörhead. This cover completely anihillates the original. I'd much rather listen to Lemmy's gritty sandpaper voice than James Hetfield screaming AAAH at the end of each line. The original title of this cover is actually F*** Metallica. THEY GOT THAT RIGHT. James Hetfield went hunting tigers in Siberia and missed his son's first birthday. James Hetfield is such a jerk...

Rip Lemmy, Phil Taylor, and Würzel.

39Burner

Just a damn good song.

40Doctor Rock

Whats this number 54, this song needs to go up to the teens at least.The song is one of the best on the album "orgasmatron" along with the title track, and "ain't my crime", "ridin with the driver", I could go on.

Classic!

41Eat the Rich

Underrated Motorhead song belongs in the top ten

First Motörhead song I ever heard, and it's remained my favorite. RIP Lemmy - Shake_n_Bake13

42Love Can't Buy You Money

43Over the Top

44Jack the Ripper

It isn't the best of the best. But it is definitely in the Top Ten - dharmiisha

45Rock Out

Just the name says it all, whenever I hear this song, I rock out to it! I personally think it should be in the top 10's. Rock out! Vote for this awesome song!

This song rocks the world outta me... I can't stop beating an invisible guitar! VOTE THIS ONTO TOP TEN!
